Solution
The correct option is AOsO4,(CH3)3CCOOH,(CH3)3COH,NaOH The osmium tetroxide adds to the double bond of an alkene in a concerted mechanism forming an osmate ester. The osmate ester can be hydrolized to produce a cis- glycol and regenerate the osmium tetroxide.
Ozonolysis O3+Zn/H2O splits the alkene at double bond and forms two aldehydes.
Hydroboration B2H6+H2O2/NaOH forms alcohol.
Peracid forms epoxide with alkene. Epoxide on reaction with NaOH/H2O produce trans vicinal diol.
